2.5.74 does not boot with TCQ: Unable to handle NULL pointer dereference
2.5.72 + bk : kernel boots fine with TCQ, TASKFILE, and TASKFILE_IO enabled It froze a bunch of times, but at least it booted.
2.5.74: kernel refuses to boot (kernel panic).
Disabling TASKFILE_IO does not help
Disabling TASKFILE does not help
Disabling TCQ allows the kernel to boot.
